• Industry first: Patagonia today announced that all 61 styles of its waterproof shells are made with recycled materials and sewn in Fair Trade Certified factories. The brand has been working on the feat since 1993. "Here's an interesting fact: You might think that shipping our products all over the world is the leading source of greenhouse gas pollution, but it’s not," Patagonia wrote in its announcement. "In fact, most of our carbon emissions – 97 percent – come from our supply chain. And creating virgin synthetic fibers accounts for 86 percent of those emissions. The more recycled fabrics we make, the closer we’ll get to carbon neutrality across our entire business by 2025. This collection of recycled shells is a step in that direction."
